Justin and Kate Small, two of the best predator hunters on the planet, share their expertise on wolf hunting tactics that can make you a more effective hunter.
• Kate's background includes nursing in Tanzania where she spent four months providing healthcare in poverty-stricken areas, including two months living with the Maasai tribe
• Justin grew up hunting out of necessity and credits his Boy Scout experience for teaching him essential outdoor skills
• The couple explains how wolves devastated game populations in Idaho and Oregon, with each wolf consuming approximately 20 big game animals annually
• Wolves reproduce annually with multiple females per pack breeding, allowing populations to grow up to 40% each year if unmanaged
• Winter is identified as the optimal wolf hunting season due to mating behaviors making wolves more territorial and vocal
• Justin and Kate emphasize the importance of learning wolf patterns and behavior through observation rather than immediate pursuit
• The couple shares dramatic success stories, including an instance where a wolf charged them from 2,000 yards away during breeding season
• In one area where they reduced a wolf pack from approximately 8 to 2 members, they witnessed the elk population grow from about 10-15 to 500 over five years
• Their Western Wolf Academy teaches hunters how to drastically reduce the learning curve for successful predator hunting
